PJ is a breath of fresh air, new moves, different routines, always an alternative for injuries or difficulties which is an absolute godsend and she says it how it is which we love. Also, PJ really does understand our aging and menopausal bodies which is tremendous. She works us hard, mixes it up, and helps you get to the next level and she does it with explanations, humour and fun. The best thing we did was subscribing and joining Patreon.

I was in such a rut from doing the same at-home workouts over and over. My enthusiasm was at an all-time low and I was not seeing any improvement in my fitness level. Then I found PJ Wren… Her (free) 21 Day Fitness Challenge lit a fire in me that I thought was long gone. The calendar gave me a different workout every day and each one challenged me to step it up without overwhelming my over-40 body and mind. Two months later, I’m in the best shape I’ve been since my 30’s!

I started exercising to some degree a few years back when I got tired of feeling flabby and dumpy and saw the possibility of having to be on medication for thyroid and bone loss issues.  I found some great exercise YouTubers that I tried hard to stick with but, well, either they were: bubbly, bouncy and happy it made me want to gag; or so enthusiastically encouraging that you feel like a 3-year-old; or not enough bounce or personality to carry you through a whole series. I searched to find someone that I wouldn’t get tired of, would help me use all the crap I’ve acquired, challenge me and not bore me to frickin’ tears – and I found P.J.!  I discovered her at the beginning of the pandemic, right after we had gotten back early from our travels south for the winter.  I haven’t looked back since.  All I asked for on my 60^th was to join Patreon, and it’s the best gift ever! 

 P.J. is consistent, encouraging [but not condescending], shows you how to pick your level, weight and speed, works around sore or tender joints and has SO many different workouts to choose from – some with equipment (with alternative moves for those without), some without, HIIT and cardio, upper and lower body, stretch and yoga –  there is no way you can possibly get bored.  Her challenges are fun, she’s cute, funny, is sometimes a little irreverent and sassy, and the community is great. 

P.J. has made getting stronger and staying healthy fun and challenging.  I am so happy I found her!
